Abstract

The article describes two clinical cases of mycobacteriosis with intrathoracic lymph node involvement in infants. In both cases, the disease occurred in infancy and tuberculosis was initially diagnosed. The protracted disease required surgical treatment. The histological signs were consistent with granulomatous inflammation with caseous necrosis. The diagnosis was established by the detection of M. avium DNA in the surgical specimens. No underlying diseases accompanied by immunosuppression were found in the infants. Only anti-tuberculosis drugs were used for treatment. The disease was successfully cured; during follow-up examinations (one year after the treatment completion), there was no evidence of the disease relapse.
